The War Z will open its doors to testers this Halloween, kind of appropriate for a game all about surviving a zombie apocalypse.

The beta will begin October 31 and will be open to everyone who pre-orders the game. There are three tiers of the game available to pre-order, the first is the Survivor level which will set you back $19.50 and nets you a forum badge and access to the beta.

The $29.99 Pioneer level grants you a forum badge, $15 of in-game currency, one month of Stronghold server hosting, three guest keys, beta access, and access to the game’s alpha test from October 15.

Finally there’s the Legend tier which will cost you $49.99 and includes a forum badge, your name in lights on the in-game chat and leaderboards, $30 of in-game currency, six months of Stronghold server hosting, three guest keys, and alpha/beta access.

So it’s all about how much you’re willing to spend. You can pre-order the game here.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
